Treat Trolley
ParticipantHappy Cyber Monday, everyone! 🎉 Is it just me, or does shopping in pajamas while sipping reheated coffee taste *extra* sweet when you score a good deal? It’s like being Santa… if Santa maxed out his credit card but got amazing shipping rates.
So, in the true spirit of not breaking the bank (and maybe squeezing in gifts for everyone, including the postman), I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite budget-friendly gift ideas available TODAY online. No lines, no elbow jabs, just click, add to cart, repeat. Here are my picks:
- Anker Portable Charger, 313 Power Bank – For the friend who’s always on 1% (or the person who forgets their phone in Uber rides). Under $20 and you’ll be saving someone’s day. Bonus points if you wrap it up with a note: “Because low battery anxiety is real.”
- Dash Mini Waffle Maker – Perfect for anyone who loves breakfast, snacks, or just cute kitchen gadgets. It’s super affordable, small enough for even the tiniest dorm or apartment kitchen, and comes in colors that look great in Instagram stories. Waffle Wednesdays, anyone?
- Beard King Beard Bib – For the dads, brothers, or partners who think shaving is a full-contact sport. This handy contraption stops those little beard trimmings from taking over the bathroom sink. Trust me, you’ll be a hero to anyone who has to share that bathroom. 😅
What are your favorite steals this Cyber Monday? Anyone else have a new hobby of shopping while pretending to work?

It’s quirky, strategic, and suitable for all ages, ensuring Christmas afternoon is filled with laughter instead of awkward political debates.

- Contigo Autoseal West Loop Travel Mug – For your perpetually on-the-go friend who needs their caffeine fix, this spill-proof coffee mug will be their new best buddy. Keeps drinks hot or cold for hours, much like that post-Thanksgiving food coma. ☕
- Moleskine Classic Notebook – Perfect for the scribbler, doodler, or list-maker in your life. This iconic notebook makes jotting down new year resolutions feel a tad more official. Plus, it’s more durable than using Post-its! 📓
Anyone else feeling like a Cyber Monday ninja or is it just me hitting the refresh button like it’s a game of Whack-a-Mole? 🎮
